That's Entertainment : Kanye West 


I H8 Kanye West.

Thinking about him sends my blood pressure north.

= A cat always land on it’s feet. =

However, I once was in JB Hi Fi in Paramatta and I heard an 80’s vibe synth pop song that really made me feel good about myself.

I thought it was really really cool.

So asked the lass at the counter who it was.

They smirked as if to say WTF?!  “It’s Kanye West…”

= Dropped buttered toast always fall on the floor butter side down. =

A little piece of me died.  But I dug the song.

I was in a vortex time loop…something bizarre was happening.

I couldn’t breathe… 

= Ever thought about tying a piece of buttered toast face up, to the back of a cat, and throwing both out a 10 storey window and seeing what happens? =

Next thing, I’m in ICU on a ventilator.  Apparently I’d taken a fall.  My brain couldn’t reconcile I liked a Kanye West song.

I bought the album 808s & Heartbreak.  It’s front and centre in my collection.  I <3 it.  It is awesome.  I still H8 everything else about him and his music.  But 808s & Heartbreak is a classic in every sense of the word. 

= I tested the theory.  The toast wants to land butter side down; the cat wants to land on its feet.  It’s still spinning, polarised.  Stuck in a vortex infinity time loop forever.  =

When I play 808s & Heartbreak, I am the cat and slice of toast, spinning to infinity, polarised, the butter trying to smack the ground…the feet trying to land.

I’ma gonna stop you right there…

808s & Heartbreak is a bloody fantastic album and you should own it.  Most people ignored it or hated it even when they bought (it still went to #1 despite it being widely derided).  It was perceived and received negatively by pundits.  I like to buck trends.  You can buy it real cheap.  Treat yourself.  Join me in the infinity loop.
